Not using my own personal experience and multiple tanks of real world
testing.

It is only done to subsidize the corn farmers and drive up the cost of
everything else as a result.

a box of Corn Flakes is $4.00, just ridiculous.

That keeps them buying $400,000 tractors every year on the govt dime, so
they can sell the old ones
and keep the money.

Thousands of them ( one season old ) are shipped out of the country every
year, many right here in Savannah.

Want to see photos of them, send me a email, I'll show you.

It's a F*&%^ing racket!
